Breakfast with Santa

Last weekend the USS Lake Erie hosted a "Breakfast with Santa" for the children of the parents who serve on that ship. It was very well attended and the boys had a blast. Naomi was overwhelmed by it all and she stuck close to me!

We started off making crafts!

Next it was time to eat Breakfast. We all went through the chow line. We had our choice of eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, donuts, whip cream and fruit toppings. It was really delicious!


Part way through the breakfast the bells rang and they announced over the 1MC that Santa had arrived and before we knew it he was on the Mess decks greeting all the children. Jacob LOVES Santa, Naomi had no clue who he was and Micah doesn't believe in Santa anymore.



After breakfast it was time for the children to meet with Santa one at a time. We happened to be one of the first families which was great because Naomi was done. Jacob was first and told Santa all about how he wants "Army" stuff this year. Then Naomi went with Darrick's help but she just sat there.

Then it was Micah's turn. Here is a little back history...about 2 weeks ago, while using a public restroom Micah dropped his DS in the toilet after it was um, used. The DS does not work anymore so Micah is asking for a new DS for Christmas. We told him that we could not find any DS's and the only one who could bring him a DS is Santa but he would have to ask him. As you can tell from the pictures that was the last thing he wanted to do but he really wants a new DS. He would definitely not sit on his lap.

All in all it was a great time!
